Ah right.

Mike Wilson is from Barnsely, but in the 1980s he took up Italian nationality [I'm not sure why]. When he was at world/European level he was always racing under the Italian flag. He used to drive for the IAME factory, one of the biggest karting organizations at the time and raced mainly Birel/Komets.
An incredible driver though, a shame he never got to F1 as I'm certain he would have done well.
